Happens to me on almost every job.
You get what you settle for, apparently people don't care if their 4'x8' sign looks like sh!t and can't even be read as long as it only costs $200.
I've never sold one for that low in 27 years and I sure as hell am not going to lower my prices when the cost of everything has increased considerably.
These lowballers saturate the market with visual pollution, price themselves right out of business, and make me look too expensive when I'm still here trying to clean up their mess.
Love....Jill

i did a 4' x 4' 2 sided on 10 mm alumicore, with intermediate vinyl. was only 3 lines of text and a red arrow........$275. that is $8.50 a sq ft. AND I HAVE a 4' X 4' piece of 10mm 2 sided alumicore for other sign/signs. i also had the layout for the sign because i did the old one back in 2000 WITH INTERMEDIATE VINYL and it still hadnt peeled or cracked.))))))
so time in this one, pull up the art work, load plotter, cut weed tape and stick. $275.00. i figure i got $50 in the 4X4' alumicore, so $225 in my pocket.

I don't think you'll print, laminate, and apply for less than some vinyl lettering on a sign. Banners might go for $4 a sq.ft. but printed vinyl with a laminate, applied, isn't going for $4 a sq.ft. anywhere I've heard or seen. Maybe $10 a sq.ft. but certainly not $4.
I will note, that price is the low end of the sign guide, which is based on about $50 per hour if I remember right.
